Topic: TRU Exclusive V-Wing and Hailfire (Read 6984 times)

I'll likely pass on these as well, but I have to admit - although the likely higher price point stinks - I always kind of like seeing a figure packed alongside the vehicles. It makes a great package for parents/kids, if its not too pricey.

I'll get the Hailfire droid for sure. Though I won't need the Greivous fig. (Trade or sell that fig-$5)

I'll pass on the V-wing though. Cool vehicle, but I have 3 from the first release already. No need for more of them.

I'd have rather seen a Super Battle Droid or has been mentioned a Battle Droid commander with the Hailfire droid. I might have kept the figure then.

To date the only Animated figs I own are the free Holo Greivous from the TRU promotion on 7/26 and the AT-TE pilot from the AT-TE. I did purchase Ahsoka and Cody from HTS and am waiting on those to arrive. But I'm not actively seeking these figs. I guess I could just keep these and eventually have a set of the animated figures just from pack-ins. I'm VERY selective with this line. So far, other than those rare few, I'm only looking to get 2 others the remainder of the year for animated figs. It's a neat look, but I really can't justify the cost, especially for characters I already have in the realistic form.

I never did like the cheetah spots and the TAC V-Wing, but what happend to the Imperial repaint that was rumored? I actually kinda like the paint scheme on the Hailfire Droid though, but not sure I'll pick up either - even though I caved on the dome. I'm guessing $45 exclusives because they come with figures.

There's been so many rumor lists this year, I'm gonna chalk this one up to the category of "guess list" more than rumor list, as I know I'm not alone in thinking a lot of those supposed "rumor lists" were nothing more than someone putting together a list of things he/she figured were coming out and calling it a rumor list. This obviously is a repaint that seems likely, so it's easy to put it on a list you're calling "Rumors" thinking it's likely. Then it does come out and the person's like, "See, I was right!", heh.

It seems like, at least from the pics we've seen both of toys and in the cartoon, that a lot of the Seperatist vehicles have a blue theme to them - the STAPS, upcoming AAT, and now this Hailfire Droid.
